Chicago's #1 Cabinet Marketing Agency
Chicago is the largest metro we serve by population and the oldest by housing stock. That means fewer new-home cabinet opportunities than in Houston—but a much larger pool of existing kitchens ready for renovation.
Chicago's housing stock is the oldest in the top 10
The Chicago-Naperville-Elgin metro is home to 9,406,924 residents—the largest population base of any city we target. Its housing stock is dramatically older than the Sun Belt markets: the median year built is 1972, and 774,414 units (19.7%) were built in 1939 or earlier.
Older inventory drives renovation demand. According to Harvard JCHS Improving America's Housing 2025, homes built before 1980 had per-owner improvement spending 24% higher and maintenance spending 76% higher than homes built since 2010. Chicago's stock is overwhelmingly pre-1980.
A huge, diverse owner base
Chicago has 3.69 million households and a 24.7% Hispanic/Latino population. The median owner-occupied home value is $339,700—lower than the Sun Belt top tier, but spread across a much larger number of owner-occupied units.
New construction is comparatively modest: Chicago issued 9,509 single-family permits in 2024. The cabinet opportunity in Chicagoland is therefore renovation-first, not builder-first.
Marketing older homes
We position Chicago cabinet businesses around the renovation story: 'update your 1970s kitchen,' 'custom cabinets for Oak Park bungalows,' 'Naperville kitchen refresh.' Because the metro spans Illinois and Indiana counties with distinct community identities, we build hyper-local ad groups and landing pages by county or village.
CabinetBoost is remote-first and U.S.-wide. We are not a Chicago local agency and do not invent a downtown office. We use the metro's real housing-age data to target homeowners whose properties are statistically ready for a kitchen upgrade.
